The Agency Client Dilemma
When delivering a custom Framer website to a paying client, forms are often the last and most stressful hurdle: - The client uses a CRM your team doesn't have direct access to. - The client asks you to set up Zapier, requiring you to ask for their master login password. - If a webhook breaks 3 months later, the client calls you in a panic.

The Dangers of Client Webhooks
Relying on client-managed webhooks causes endless maintenance headaches: - If the client changes their webhook URL or renames a CRM field, the Framer form silently fails. - Hardcoding webhook URLs in Framer makes client handover messy and unprofessional.
